NCIt definition : Human CEP43 wild-type allele is located within 6q27 and is approximately 95 kb in
length. This allele, which encodes centrosomal protein 43, plays a role in anchoring
microtubules to the centrosome. A translocation t(6;8)(q27;p11) that fuses this gene
and the FGFR1 gene is associated with certain myeloproliferative disorders.;
NCIt note : A t(6;8)(q27;p11) translocation, resulting in the fusion of the FGFR10P gene with
the FGFR gene, has been observed in some myeloproliferative disorders. It has been
suggested that expression of this fusion gene may promote hematopoietic stem cell
proliferation and leukemogenesis.;
